AI-powered navigation system for America's safety net: mapping policy documents and revealing hidden eligibility pathways.
PolicyEngine Atlas addresses a critical infrastructure failure: benefit program documents disappear constantly while their connections remain hidden. This system monitors 50+ jurisdictions, capturing statutes, regulations, and forms before they vanish, while our knowledge graph reveals how programs interact—like how TANF enables SNAP which enables Lifeline.
